Xia He was good at reading people's expressions. Knowing that Song Tantan was bored, she stopped taking her around and sent her back to her residence. Song Tantan kept saying that she didn't need to be sent, but Xia He insisted on sending her, so she had no choice but to let her go.
As evening fell, Song Tantan sat under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, staring intently at the road leading into the village. Why hadn't Ye Moxun returned yet? It was almost dark; could something have happened to him?
She would wait another hour, no, at most half an hour. If he hadn't returned by then, she would go look for him. Sigh, he was such a worry; he could cause problems in the blink of an eye. What would she do if she didn't keep an eye on him?
On the other side, Ye Moxun was holding a torch and walking ahead, taking large strides. He couldn't wait to get back to the village. It was already dark, and if he didn't go back, Tantan would definitely be worried sick and wouldn't be able to eat dinner.
This girl is thirteen this year, but she's always causing trouble. It's fine when he's around, but what will she do when he's not?
Lin Yu was sweating profusely as he chased after him. It was said that Master Ye was in poor health and had been weak since birth. Even if he was well-nourished, he was still not as good as the average person. So how come he was more vigorous than anyone else when traveling?
Is someone chasing us from behind?
Hmph, don't think he doesn't know. This is the first time Master Ye has been separated from Miss Song for so long. They've been inseparable since they were little.
I suddenly got anxious and angry because I hadn't seen them all day; I wished I could sprout wings and fly to their side immediately.
Ye Moxun: Who said this is the first time he's been away for a whole day? When he was in Xifeng, he had to go out on business, and Tantan didn't always come with him. But it wasn't like today back then.
The reason I'm worried today is because we're traveling and in unfamiliar places, not being together. It's natural to be anxious.
Of course, he only realized this after they separated. He didn't feel anything when he was going to the county in the morning, but after he got there, he found that he was absent-minded and felt uneasy. He always felt that something was missing.
It wasn't until he rushed back just now, eager to see Tantan, that he realized he missed her. He felt uneasy without her by his side, and that something was missing.
Lin Yu felt wronged. He had finally found a girl he liked and was thinking of getting closer to her to cultivate a relationship and make a deeper impression on her, but then Master Ye dragged him to the county to handle some business.
Now he has no mind for anything else but to bring Xia He home as his wife. She's already twenty, which makes her an old maid, about the same age as him, but he doesn't mind, since she's a respectable woman.
Besides, the world has been in chaos for so many years, and many families' daughters and sons have missed the best age for marriage. It's normal for them to be a few years late.
"Ah Xun, you're back!" Song Tantan saw a light in the distance and ran over quickly.
"Tantan, slow down and watch where you're going." Ye Moxun quickened his pace. After they got closer, they looked each other over and found that they were both alright.
Song Tantan grinned and threw herself into his arms, "Why are you so late? I was so worried."
Hmph, those who flaunt their love will break up quickly.
"Hey, hey, watch your manners! We're still here. What kind of behavior is this, hugging and cuddling?" Lin Yu coughed heavily, feeling incredibly jealous. These two really didn't care about his and his brothers' feelings at all.
"Lin Yu, get out of the way, you're in my way," Ye Moxun said with a laugh.
If it were any other woman, she would have blushed with embarrassment and dared not be so brazen. But Song Tantan remained unfazed, not only not feeling ashamed, but also boldly retorting.
“Ah Xun and I are properly engaged. I was worried about him late at night, so what’s wrong with giving him a hug? Do you think he’s like you, who’s twenty and still not engaged? You can live alone. Let’s see how long you can keep picking and choosing.”
No, he was just joking, how did it turn into a personal attack?
Lin Yu is handsome, in his prime, good at making money, and skilled in kung fu. What makes him not outstanding?
He's only twenty, not very old, so who would dare say he's old?
"I won't stoop to your level, hmph." Lin Yu was furious, but he couldn't argue back, and he didn't dare to argue anymore. Master Ye was glancing over, and if he said another word, he would definitely suffer.
Seeing Lin Yu dash off into the distance, Song Tantan whispered in Ye Moxun's ear, "You see, Lin Yu is definitely heading to Xia He's house." It's a pity that this guy is unreliable; he's not good enough for such a smart and beautiful girl as Xia He.
